About the Item
Milton Goldstein, was a prominent Bayside artist, won many prestigious awards and taught at Adelphi University.
Born in Holyoke, Mass., Goldstein began his career in the arts when he moved to New York to study at the Art Students League of New York in 1939. In 1942 he enlisted in the Army and served in the Pacific as a mapmaker during World War II. While stationed in the Philippines, Goldstein drew sketches and painted watercolors of the cities and people he saw during the war, and 300 of these works were donated to the Military Museum in Washington, D.C. in 1996.
"The curator herself drove down from Washington to pick up the art," Mollie Goldstein said.
When Goldstein returned to the States, he re-entered the Art Students League under the G.I. Bill and finished his studies in 1949. The year after he was awarded a Guggenheim grant to work on the development of a new color system to make color etchings. The same year he and Mollie Goldstein moved to the Bayside house on 219th Street that would remain their home for the next 54 years.
Goldstein later started the Graphic Arts department at Adelphi University in 1953 and was named a full professor of art in 1965, becoming a professor emeritus in 1983.
"He was one of the most beloved of instructors at Adelphi," Mollie Goldstein said, showing a President's Medallion the university had awarded him. "We would like to start a scholarship in his name in the Art Department at Adelphi."
Goldstein was also a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in England. He gave lectures in many of the Northeast's finest art institutions, including Cooper Union, the Art Alliance in Philadelphia and the Walter Vincent Smith Museum in Springfield, Mass.
Known primarily for his print-making and etchings, Goldstein's work has been exhibited at the Smithsonian Institute, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Carnegie Institute and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and he staged one-man shows throughout the country.
Museums and institutions all over the country have hosted collections of his work, including Pennsylvania State University, the Boston Public Library, Teachers College at Columbia University and Brooks Memorial Museum in Memphis, Tenn.

- Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your Hair (Six Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm)By David HockneyLocated in New York, NYSheet from “Rapunzel” story (from Six Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm) Text printed letterpress and “Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your Hair” etching and aquatint on W S Hodgkinson paper watermarked "DH" and "PP" Etching 10.5 × 9.85 in. / 26.7 × 25 cm Paper 17.5 x 12.25 in. / 45 x 31 cm Unsigned: apart from the published edition of 400 books and 100 portfolios. This is one of eleven images recently found in our archive which we have decided to make available. There is one only of each image. Perhaps the most famous story from the Grimm Brothers, Rapunzel spins the tale of a beautiful young princess locked away by an evil sorceress. Captured in this scene is the moment a King's son came across the tower and fell in love with her sweet singing, beseeching her: 'Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let down your hair to me.' Though the sorcerer banishes Rapunzel and maims the prince, they are of course ultimately reunited to live happily together. Hockney illustrates this scene with incredible texture detail: layers of aquatint defining the soft forest floor, delicate hatching on the horse's haunch, the tower's tight crosshatching, and of course the lyrical gesture of Rapunzel's hair which cascades from the upper right corner. This print from our publisher's archives is one of thirty-nine etchings from David Hockney’s 1969 "Six Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm". Hockney worked on this series with Paul Cornwall-Jones at Petersburg Press over the course of a year. 400 books and 100 portfolios plus artist’s proofs were printed. The artist illustrated six stories: 'The Little Sea Hare', 'Fundevogel', 'Rapunzel', 'The Boy who left Home to learn Fear', 'Old Rinkrank' and 'Rumpelstilzchen'. According to Hockney, "They're fascinating, the little stories, told in a very, very simple, direct, straightforward language and style, it was this simplicity that attracted me. They cover quite a strange range of experience, from the magical to the moral." He was inspired by earlier illustrators of the tales, including Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac, but Hockney reimagined the stories for a modern audience. The frontispiece for the project pictures Catherina Dorothea Viehmann, the elderly German woman who recounted fairy tales to the Grimm brothers when they were in their late twenties. In Hockney's words: “The stories weren’t written by the Brothers Grimm…they came across this woman called Catherina Dorothea Viehmann, who told 20 stories to them in this simple language, and they were so moved by them that they wrote them down word for word as she spoke.” Hockney drew the German woman in the style of Dürer, formally posed yet naturalistic against an impeccably crosshatched swath of grey. Hockney wrote about the surreal plots contained in the Brothers Grimm tales: “…the stories really are quite mad, when you think of it, and quite strange. In modern times, it’s like the story of a couple moving into a house, and in the next door’s garden they see this lettuce growing: and the wife develops this craving for the lettuce that she just must have and climbs over to pinch it, and the old woman who lives in the house next door says well, you can have the lettuce if you give me your child, and they agree to it. And if you put it into terms like this and imagine them in their semi-detached house agreeing to it all, it seems incredible.” Hockney enhanced this unbelievable quality with his illustrations which traverse inky, dense areas of intense crosshatching and minimalist line work. Rather than serving as direct interpretations of the plot, the images capture moments and feelings. Some portray the magic yet mundane -- Rapunzel's tiny face gazing placidly at a well-tended garden, or project danger and unease as in The Haunted Castle, with its citadel perched atop craggy rocks, dramatically lit against a dark sky. Hockney's sense of humor comes through in Cold Water About to Hit the Prince, in which a man tucked into bed stares straight at a rush of water drawn with a splash (this technique is likely Spit Bite, and the resultant bold spattered brushstroke contrasts beautifully with the rest of the carefully crosshatched image). A Wooded Landscape, with its lush textures, conveys the bucolic setting of a fairy tale and the potential danger hidden within the woods -- the viewer is left to wonder who lives on the hilltop in that diminutive cabin. These etchings defy the conventions of beautiful fairy tale illustrations...Category
